Women’s experiences of ceasing to breastfeed: Australian qualitative study by Jennifer Elizabeth Ayton, Leigh Tesch, Emily Hansen

“…In an effort to avoid formula and prolong exclusive breastfeeding, mothers will endure multiple issues (eg, pain, low milk supply, mastitis, public shaming) and make use of various forms of social and physical capital; resources such as father/partner support, expressing breast milk, bottles and dummies.
